The object of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and process of which are secured by patent. In England where these metals are so extensively used, and their preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable of being preserved by this invention will at once spew the extensive field opened for its operation. Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines which are necessarily exposed to the weather. The filed and bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chain cables, ship's bolts, knees, and all other iron works used in shie-building ; likewise copper-sheathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet situations, as mines, docks, wharfs, &c. &c. Nails, screws, and all iron-work used in out-buildings. All copper and brass vessels used for culinary purposes. Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment, in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public, as an undertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits. A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately issued. Applications for shares may be addressed, until the 2d of May, to the Provisional Committee, care of William Paterson, Esq., Soli citor, 68, Old Broad-street ; Thomas T. Mane, Esq., Solicitor, 4, New Bridge-street; or at the Offices, $3, Cornhill, where Spe cimens of the invention may be seen.

London : Longman, Orme, and Co. The supply of Asphalte will be abundant, and, from the fact that Bituminous Cement is becoming an article of general use on the Continent of Europe, and from the very successful experiments now making in London, there is every reason to expect that it will, in a great measure, become a staple of universal consumption, super seding the use of Stone, Lead, Zinc, and other Cements of inferior descriptions. The Directors have entered into arrangements for the exclusive purchase and right of importing the Asphalte of Travers into Great Britain and Ireland, but they are not prevented from selling it else where ; and it is proposed to establish Agencies on the Continent, for the purpose of conducting the Company's business abroad. The Directors have it also in contemplation to unite this Company with the LONDON BITUMEN or EGYPTIAN ASPHALTE COMPANY, so soon as the expected Firman of the Pacha of Egypt arrives ; and the Committee of Management of the London Bitumen Company will then convene a meeting of their Share holders, by whose sentiments they will be guided as regards the proposed junction. One-tenth proportion of the Shares is taken by tie Proprietor of the Mine and his Associates. The Deposit Receipts for the 21. per Share are to be exchanged for Scrip Certificates, when ready for delivery, of which due notice will be given; and the remainder by instalments, when called for by the Directors, and which will be advertised in the daily news papers. No call to exceed 21. per Share, and not to be made at a less in terval than two months. In default of payment of any such call, the money previously paid on such Shares will be forfeited. A General Meeting of the Shareholders will bo called once in every year ; and, on all occasions where voting may be necessary, the Proprietor of ö Shares will have One Vote, 10 Ditto ...... Two Votes, 20 Ditto and upwards Four Votes. The Directors do not intend to have any Deed of Settlement pre pared until after the first Annual Meeting on Ist May, 1839, when they can obtain the opinion of the Shareholders on the subject. N.B. The Subscription List is filled up and the Shares aro allotted. 2, Copthall Chambers, April 27, 1838. HENRY DtNN, Secretary.

T HE BRITISH GALVANIZATION OF METAL COMPANY. While the advertisement which has appeared in several daily papers cautioning the public against this Company appeared in an anonymous form, the Provisional Committee deemed it unworthy of their notice, but the time has at length arrived when some explana tion is due to their Shareholders and the public at large. Some time back, and until a very recent period, the promoters of this Company were in treaty with the French proprietors of Sorel's patent, in order to introduce it into the United Kingdom ; but upon taking the opinion of an eminent English engineer, there appeared no probability o f it s b e i ng wor k e d w ith suc h success in its present form, as to justify them in paying the enormous sum demanded for its purchase. In this stage of their proceedings, another process with machinery wa s b roug ht un d er t h e i r cons id eration, w hi c h , ac cording to the report of the same engineer, after a careful examina tion of the specifications and experiments made upon both inven tions, was more easily worked, and attended with much less expense than the French process, and to such a degree as to constitute a dis tinct patent. This patent, which will soon be completed, is secured to the Com pany on the most advantageous terms, which must necessarily greatly enhance the value of its shares ; while its management will be entrusted to a Bo ar d o f Di rectors, whose names will be published without loss of time, which will of itself be a guarantee for the safety and value of the undertaking.

The Directors are happy to be able to inform the Shareholders that the arrangement between the Proprietors of the Bastanne and Gaujac Mines, by which the exclusive privilege of exporting and vending the mineral tar and asphalte of the Bastenne and Gaujac Mines was to be ceded and secured to this Company, were finally completed at Paris on the 28th of April inst., under the personal superintendence of two of the Directors at present in Paris. The Company is therefore now in a position to commence the delivery of the Mineral Tar; and their Agent in Paris (the Viscount de Beuret) has already undertaken, on advantageous terms, a contract for the supply of a considerable quantity of the Mineral Tar, in continuation of a contract which has subsisted for several years for the Railroad from Berlin to Potsdam. The Board of Directors will be prepared, on the return of their Brother Directors from Paris, with a report to their Shareholders on the subject of the prospects of the Company, which cannot fail to be highly satisfactory. In the meantime they beg to direct the attention of the Share holders to the works constructed with the bitumen iu question by Mr. Debray, the Manager of the French Company, on the rail roads from Paris to St. Germain and St Cloud, the pave ment in the Rue Richelieu, on the Boulevards, near Frescati's, the Ponts Neuf and Carousel, the Faubourg St. Denis, the fortifications, roofs, flooring and other works at Bayonne and Bourdeaux, the large reservoirs of the Faubourg Batignolles, Charenton, and elsewhere, which afford the most ample and satisfactory proofs of the excellence of their Bitumen.

PATRONISED by HER MAJESTY the QUEEN of HANOVER, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS the DUKE of SUSSEX, the DUCHESS f RICHMOND, the DUKE of BUCKINGHAM, ..tc. &c. MR. E. SOLOIVIONS, OPTICIAN to the Royal Eye Infirmary, Patentee of the AMBER SPEC TACLES, and Manufacturer of the PELLUCID LENSES, &c., 36, OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western Exchange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC TACL LS may be adapted to the various circumstances of indivi dual eases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as render vision most perfeetly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the crgan, with the additional equally impor tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes of common glasses ; in snort, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their superior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who (among many others) have given them their unqualified approba tion : Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President of the College of Surgeons. Sir Benjamin C. Brodie, Bart., F. R. S., Saville-row. Sir James E. Anderson, M.D., &c., New Burlington-street. R. Keate, Esq., Albemarle-street. Martin Waro, Esq., Oculist, New Bridge-street.

Imposition having been extensively carried on by travellers and hawkers assuming Mr. Solomons' name, or connection with his house, the Public are respectfully apprised that the AMBER SPECTACLES, bearing the ONLY PATENT now extant, their disposal is exclusively confined to his house,36, Old Bond street, and to his Branch Establishments in IRELAND. Hours of attendance from Ten to Six o'Clock. On the motion of J. DWYER, Esq., seconded by S. PARKER, Esq., Alderman WILLIAM lIODGES (Member of the Board of Directors), was unanimously called to the Chair, and read to the Meeting the Report of the Board as follows " GENTLBMEN—In compliance with the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting, the Directors have paid to Proprie tors a balance of 9,0001. received on account of third instalment, and 5,0001. on account of dividend struck in October, 183t1. They have also paid off all remaining balances due to bankers, arising from the final close of accounts with them on foot of returned bills, or otherwise—making a total of payments since last meeting, on these accounts, of 24,312/. " Your Directors further proceeded with the gradual reduction of branches in those districts wherein a profitable return had not accrued, and the resumption of discount business, as well as the continuance of the ordinary operation of banking, at those branches which have proved remunerative, and from which past experience demonstrated that a fair profit might be anticipated. The result has been satisfactory, and progressive improvement is manifest both in the business and character of the transactions. The greatest circumspection has been used in the accommodation granted, and the issues at the several branches have been regulated solely by the legitimate action of commerce. " It is gratifying to reflect that the principle of Joint-stock Banks has been fully sustained by your Company, which, notwith standing the unparalleled difficulties in which it was placed by the peculiar crisis of the autumn of 1836, aggravated by the unreason.. able conduct of a portion of the proprietary, has, in little more than one year, fully and entirely paid off all liabilities existing at the period of the pressure, without loss to any individual, including th e full payment and cancelling of the note issue then outstanding ; re suming the ordinary eourse of business at the agency in Dublin and at twenty of the selected branches, with a new plate and issue, a numerous and wealthy proprietary located in those districts best adapted for profitable commerce. " Your Directors trust that consideration for the welfare of the country will induce the other Joint-stock Banks in Ireland to act without reference to petty jealousies or narrow objects; and that they will see that the interests of all parties are best promoted by fairly expanding, in place of unduly cramping, the energies of the country. Its resources are great, and the manner in which the agricultural districts of Ireland have paid off the obligations con tracted therein to your Company, warrant your Board in asserting that they are deserving of encouragement and support ; whilst, on the other hand, improvident speculation should be discouraged, every legitimate assistance should be extended to develope the resources of the country, and assist the industry of the people. A Joint stock Bank should, to a fair extent, sympathise with the popula tion, and not be governed by the merely sordid consideration of pecuniary profit. The nobility and gentry should naturally support those institutions which best support the general interest and per manent welfare of their tenantry. " At this crisis your Board consider that such remarks are not irrelevant, as the subject of the Bank of Ireland Charter (which has, in date, expired) may now be considered as before the Le gislature. Connected as that subject is with the best interests of Ireland and of the empire, your Directors anticipate that no system of expediency or of compromise will retard or control the broad principle involved in freedom of trade; and that, whilst the B an k Corporation may fairly retain privileges as a chartered body, yet that unwise restrictions upon other banking institutions will b e removed, open to all (under such salutary regul a ti ons as the wils(o leamovigf n the Legislature may dictate) the trade of banking free, as in Scotland, unimpeded by invidious monopoly, thus in viting a legitimate rival' y with an equality of rights, (as far as legislation is concerned,) which must conduce to the well-being of the community. The importance of the subject will naturally challenge the at- tention of the leading men of all parties ; and your Directors, fully aware of its importance, deeul it their duty to call your atten tion to it, and to impress upon the proprietary the utility of exertion to advance the interests of their property, by zealous co-operation with your Board. " In conclusion, your Board feel quite warranted by the progress made since the last meting, in stating their conviction that the prospects of the Company arc cheering, the best evidence of which will be found in the statement of assets and liabilities now sub mitted to you, which, with the guarantee of a numerous and wealthy proprietary (registered pursuant to the provisions of 6 Geo. IV., chap. 42), present a security to the public for the transac tions of your Company of an undoubted character. Without enter ing into minute particulars as to the nature of your surplus assets (amounting to 261,1971.) your Board feel justified in giving their opinion that, making those allowances which are usually incidental to banking transactions, an available capital, adequate for the due conduct of twenty branches, with perfect security to the public, combining safety and profit to the proprietary, may be fairly counted upon. Your Board refrains from adverting to the pleasing con trast which the present state of your Company presents to that which twelve months age was sought to be imposed upon you, under circumstances rendered the more peculiar from results since ascer tained, the best vindication of the Board is found in the fact of your present position—with all liabilities then existing paid off, security of the shareholders demonstr a ted, an d th e p ro p e rty of the Company (in place of being wasted by liti ga ti on ) p res erved with the Institution. the " What has passed, however, may be buried in oblivion, and union, perseverance, and fair reciprocity inculcated for the general good. " Signed on behalf of the Daily Board, "JOHN VANCE (Belfast), Chairman." Adopted by the General Meeting, WAI. HODGES ( Alderman) Chairman. It was then moved by WlLLxam EDMONSTON, of Belfast, Esq. ; and Eeconded by Mr. Joktx Al‘Cor, of Clones : Resolved—That the Report and Accounte now submitted be received and entered on the minutes. Moved by JA st Es DWYER, Esq. ; and seconded by F. WHITE, Esq. Resolved—That we approve of the limitation of Branches which has taken place, as mentioned in the Report ; and we further re commend such judicious curtailment of those existing Branches as the opinion of the Board, upon full investigation, may point out as proper and expedient. Moved by FRANCIS WELDON, of Lisburn, Esq. ; seconded by JOHN CHAMBERS, Esq. Resolved—That we recommend that every practicable measure of prudent economy shall bo observed coincident with the judicious lo cation and curtailment of branches. Moved by HENRY WATSON, Esq., J. P., seconded by W. IL N. DOWNER, Esq., Resolved—That we earnestly impress on the Proprietors the great advantage which must be derived from strenuous co-operation i❑ the several localities, to advance the interests of the Company by judicious and collective exertion. (Signed) WILLIAM HODGES, Chairman. JOSEPH R. Pear, Esq., was then called to the Chair and it was Moved by JAMES DWYER, Esq., and seconded by P. JONES, Esq. , and resolved unanimously, That the warm thanks of the Proprietors are due and hereby given to Alderman Hodges, for his proper and dignified conduct in the Chair, and his zealous exertion at all times to promote the in terests of our native Institution. Resolved—That the Report and Resolutions be circulated amongst the Proprietors, under the direction of the Board. ( Signed) JOSEPH R. PIM, Chairman. THOMAS BRIERLY, General Superintendent.

It is quite true that. much has been written o n these s ubjects, in various languages ; an il t h at a great deal has been don e towards elucidatin g them in several Th e want of awo is , hic h forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. But still it • s i not less t rue , that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain ito each par ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions which attach themselves to almost every spot • on its shores —the spirit -stirring histories connected with its c i t i es and — e towns aid hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone sole European civilisation hi g hway of central Eur o p e, but the centre of 111. it se lf, have never been g athered to g eth er as vet, nor given thing like an entir e form to the world.
